southtrollsouth Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 An embarrassing situation for the tournament dq'ing a team with the pierheads behind a phone showing 1 pm. Otherwise a great episode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaCatMich Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm glad the shows are on, but honestly I'm not all that impressed. If they actually showed something about how they do the fishing -- methods, lures, reasoning behind decisions... it would offer a whole lot more value. Heck they spent very little time showing anything about what Living The Dream did -- one shot of Willis fighting a fish.My other complaint is that it does not really show the real results of the 333 contest, let alone the whole Tournament Trail event at the port. For this week's show, Living The Dream was the top boat shown and from the show you would assume they "won" the 333 for the port, but they actually only finished 6th (333 St. Joe results).Better than nothing, but could be much better in my view.

mattmishler Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 There are lots of thing that they could do better for the novice person watching. I think they're showing the tournament inside the tournament, it doesn't show the host tournament at all, just the results for the 333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who spends time tournament fishing knows exactly what the program is down there, and all the teams featured discussed at length their decision making process. Big trout offshore, king numbers inside. Methods and techniques are no different than any other day....run your king program inside, run a trout program outside. The lures they used and rods that caught fish were very obvious to see. I would say the show is more for tournament strategy than for the average guy, who is not going to run 30 miles to go catch 20lb lake trout..or pull off a hot king bite because the average size is too small.

fishy1 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If it's for entertainment purposes it would be nice to see more fishing and less commercials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treblemaker Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I loved it! Team Originator busted our balls when we had motor problems and arrived minutes late with big fish in the tourney, DQ, one year in Saugatuck. Good to see it came back around to bite them in the butt.
